1. Prevalent Workplace Hazards
   The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates over 2.78 million annual deaths and approximately 374 million non‑fatal injuries related to work environments. These alarming statistics have accelerated the adoption of occupational health services, including regular screenings, risk assessments, mental health programs, and ergonomic initiatives.

2. Stringent Regulations
   Compliance with agencies like OSHA in the U.S. and the EU’s Framework Directive for Safety and Health at Work has made occupational health programs non-negotiable for businesses. As a result, employers are integrating on-site clinics, telehealth services, and digital monitoring tools to stay compliant and reduce liabilities.

3. Corporate Wellness ROI
   Employers increasingly recognize that proactive health programs reduce absenteeism, boost productivity, and cut healthcare costs. Services linked to wellness—such as health risk assessments and mental health support—are becoming mainstream.
